Is Your Baby or Toddler Introverted?
Part 2
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2

Here are some guidelines for toddler introverts:

One At A Time Please. One person, one toy, one activity, even one food at a time.

Please Don't Expect First Time Results. Introverted children will need time to prepare and get used to new things their whole lives long. The first time is almost always difficult and especially if it involves something that has to be done in public.

Introverts can experience a profound sense of humiliation if they fail to meet expectations. This same nephew, when taken to the public library for the first time, asked solemnly, "Now what are the rules of this place?"

Please Don't Require Elaborate Reactions. Introverts often maintain a neutral facial expression and low key emotional response when in fact they are very intense in their reactions to things. This is to conserve energy.

My paternal grandmother was very extroverted. She had figured out that opening presents at Christmas was a great way to get a lot of attention. She could have earned an Academy Award. She held everyone in the family in thrall as she oohed and aahed over ribbon, paper, box, seals, smells, sounds, the whole nine yards.

This worked well for her theatrical personality but for an introverted kid like me it was absolutely exhausting to have to put on a show like this.

The sad thing was my dad wouldn't believe I was happy with a present or properly grateful unless I did. I began to think that getting presents was an ordeal because then I would have to open them!

Please Avoid Densely Busy Places Where There Are High Levels Of Noise And Lights. Hopefully your home isn't like this (very hard on introverts)!

A big offender in this category is children's birthday parties at big public places that cater to extroverted children with loud computer games, PA system, packed tables, crowded aisles, competition and confusion over "play tickets", moving rides and adults dressed up in animal or cartoon costumes who intrude into personal space!

Extroverted kids love this. Introverted children find it exhausting and overwhelming.

Especially Under Stress, Introverted Children Have Strong Territorial Issues Which Include Their Own Body. As soon as possible, please provide a private bedroom with a door that closes. Introverted kids can be exhausted by a typical school day and need privacy to recharge their batteries.

Kids already under stress (like the first day of school) can also have strong territorial reactions to their outer garments being removed or lunch boxes taken away by a teacher or another adult -- or shoes removed at a play park. Please be sensitive to these issues.

I hope I've given you some ideas of what to look for and how to support your introverted child. Please remember that introversion is a legitimate personality style.

Introverts are only 30% of the population. Your child may need special support at home to learn how to cope with a world set up by alien others! The way to win is not to force them to become a bad imitation of an extrovert.

Introversion is a legitimate personality type. Instead, help them to become more conscious introverts.
